MODULE 1
1. Ms. Moore plans to retire when she turns 65 in a few months. She is in excellent health and
will have considerable income when she retires. She is concerned that her income will make it
impossible for her to qualify for Medicare. What could you tell her to address her concern?
a. Medicare is a program for people of all ages with specific mental health disabilities. Since she is in
excellent health, she would not qualify, but should instead look into her state’s Medicaid program if she
wants further coverage. Incorrect
b. Eligibility for Medicare is based on whether or not a person has ever been employed by the federal
government. If she or her husband were ever employed by the federal government, she can enroll in
Medicare. Incorrect
c. Medicare is a program for people age 65 or older and those under age 65 with certain disabilities, end-
stage renal disease, and Lou Gehrig’s disease so she will be eligible for Medicare. Correct
d. Medicare is a program for people who have incomes and assets below specific limits, so you will have
to find out her exact financial situation before telling her whether she can obtain Medicare coverage.

can help with Medicare costs for which she is responsible. Correct
3. Mr. Wu is eligible for Medicare. He has limited financial resources but failed to qualify for the
Part D low-income subsidy. Where might he turn for help with his prescription drug costs?
a. Mr. Wu may still qualify for help in paying for Part D costs through the local Office of the Aging.
Incorrect
b. Mr. Wu has no alternative but to liquidate his remaining assets and apply for coverage through his
state’s Medicaid program. Incorrect
